OK, just to clarify, the refund was for a double billing. I paid Rocketgate for the annual subscription and then a few days later, Epoch charged me for the old monthly subscription because they did not get notice of the change. One moral to the story is that if you are going to upgrade, don't wait until a day or two before your original subscription would normally rebill. Give it a little more time than that....maybe a week in advance. You aren't losing anything because the upgrade only kicks in when the old subscription ends.
I firmly believe that a web site is only as good as its customer service. Once again this week, Met Art demonstrated that it is an AWESOME web site by providing some of the best online customer service I have ever experienced.
I upgraded my subscription from monthly to annual. My monthly subscription was through Epoch and my annual subscription is now through their new biller(Rocketgate?). What I did not realize is that Epoch had already queued me up for my monthly charge, which I saw on my account a few days after upgrading. I sent an email to Met Art support telling them about the issue. Within a few minutes, here is first class the response I got:
So sorry for your trouble; however rest assured you are in great hands and our support team is looking into this issue ASAP.
we will make you happy.
all the best,
Amnon
===========================
OK, I'm not easily impressed, but here is a guy who truly understands how important it is to be responsive to customers.
So many other websites (adult or otherwise) really don't care when there are problems and some (often adult) are downright obnoxious (Go look at the chain of my MPL Studios comments. I complained about an easily resolvable problem and MPL Studios blamed ME and permanently kicked me off of their site.)
Oh, and yes, I was promptly refunded the Epoch overcharge and received a follow up email from Met Art customer service to ensure everything was OK.
Kudos to Met Art for not only having a terrific web site, but for ensuring that, in the words of the CEO, "I am happy". Yes, I am happy. Thank you very much!
OK, I'm an idiot. I even sent an email off to Met-Art about the "Christina" problem above. Then as I was trying it again, I realized the girls name is CRISTINA! SO....operator error on my part. Apologies. (I would delete the whole comment, but comments on reviews can only be edited for 10 minutes after writing them.) I would still like to see an auto-login feature when traversing between paid sites in the same network.
Thought I would add a little here. I DID finally go ahead and join the other sites in the network. There is a special to join them for $12.50 USD each once you join Met Art. Those annoying links referencing other sites are still there, but when I click on one, I am not automatically logged in to the other site. So I then have to log in and when I do, all reference to the girl I was following from the original site is gone. In one case today, there is a link from Met Art to Christina A on Erotic Beauty. I followed the link and saw the beginning of a set but was required to log in before seeing it all. I logged in and, of course, the site lost track of why I logged in and sent me to the home page. I then searched for Christina A. NO SUCH GIRL! So the links trying to get you to sign up to the other sites in the network REALLY ARE BAITING YOU! In this case, to a girl that doesn't even exist on the destination site (or who goes by a different name with no way to find her). I will give the webmaster the benefit of the doubt and hope they are just not aware of how broken (and annoying)this is, but I really hope it is fixed before I write my reviews on the other sites in this network.

Pros:
Top rated softcore site
Some of the most beautiful models ON EARTH!
Spectacular imagery and sets
4-6 updates PER DAY!
Good navigation
Cons:
Only one thing in the CON category:
obnoxious cross-selling to the other sites in the network.
One minor annoyance: The user defined keywords are not particularly useful.
Bottom Line:
This is without a doubt one of the best softcore sites on the internet. The models are spectacular, the sets are great, the clothing, hair and make-up are usually perfect, the variety is great and the girls generally look like they are having a good time. Nothing cheap or poorly done anywhere, period. Navigation is also very good.
There are several exclusive or nearly exclusive models on this site that words cannot describe. FOr example: Mila, with 44 sets, always looks like she is enjoying herself. Fergie, with only 16 sets, is a little more conservative but can melt ice with her looks. Wait...loking at the site while writing a review can be very distracting....
OK, there is rally only one negative that I'm going to mention here and it is more of a customer service thing than a fault with the site. It seems that Met Art is now part of a network which includes Sex Art, the Life Erotic, Errotica Archives and Erotic Beauty. Unlike many other networks, you have to join each oif these sites separately. OK, I can appreciate that the owners want to maximize revenue. I can even appreciate that some owner/photographers hire a model for a day or a weekend trip, shoot many, many sets and then break the sets up over multiple sites, again, to maximize revenie (Met-Art and Met-Models, now Erotic Beauty, comes to mind) What I find offensive is that in Met-Art, when you look at a set of a model, a section sometimes appears at the bottom of the set that says something like "more of this model:' with a bunch of images that are links. Well, the links are NOT WITHIN THE MET ART SITE. They are links to offers to join one of the other sites in the network where more images of this model supposedly exist. It is one thing to list other sites on the model page, but it is simply obnoxious baiting to put a clickable image of the model at the bottom of the page and only include a small reference to the name of the other site. This is the only site I've ever seen that uses this relatively deceptive practice and I absolutely hate it. (Can you tell?)
Now, in-spite of that trashy cross-selling tactic, the guys at met-art are gracious enough to discount the other sites once you join one. And, to be fair, these sites appear to have plenty of unique sets spread around to each of the sites.
So...if you have not yet been to this site and want some seriously great softcore imagery and video to add to your collection, Met-Art is a MUST. I come back every year and will probably succomb to the cross-selling and try one or more of the other sites...and will review them when I do, of course!

Pros:
HUGE Collection
Completely exclusive
Very good quality images and vids
Many very attractive and diverse models
Many models you haven't seen before
A few of the better models that you have seen
Updated site goes back to 2007
If you like Black and white sets, there are a lot here.
3 images sizes and zip file sizes
Multiple video formats
Search on model or keywords
Good download speeds.
Cons:
Navigation is awful.
Sets are are on multiple pages
Sets are no longer dated except when paging through update history.
Looks like some sets are either recycled or older.
Some sets are very small.
If you don't like black and white sets, there are way too many here.
Bottom Line:
In a prior review, I listed this site as a pleasant surprise and gave it one of my highest scores. Sadly, a few things have changed, including the standards of the other top sites, while Morey Studio has remained more-or-less the same and in some ways declined. The quality of the work is still excellent and most of the models are beautiful, but the halo is gone.
This is a European-style photographer showcase site...sort of a cross between Femjoy and Hegre Art.
Release count has dropped to a set every other day or so.
Sets now only go back to about 2007. (before it was 2001)
About 325 models.
About 1250 sets.
Mostly photography but there are videos too.
Solo girl and a few girl/girl scenes with some toys, penetration and oral sex. Much more than just two girls standing next to each other like you see in some of the more conservative photo sites.
The girls are not shy and there is a moderate amount of spreading in the photo sets. But I have to warn you, a LOT of the models are just glam-style with very conservative sets.
Videos are a mix of photo shoots and dedicated videos. A few of the girl/girl and orgasm videos are quite good.
The models are very diverse and nearly all of them are beautiful. Skinny to large, A to FFF. Shaved, trimmed and full. The top rated models on the site are mostly girls I don't recognize from other sites but there are several popular models, especially in the older sets. You won't find a single apple, grape, watermelon, bouquet of flowers or other dumb prop here. No "naked girl in the woods" sets either. Most sets start clothed or partially clothed but several start out completely nude. The models are nearly all exclusive but there are a few very popular European and US models here as well. Sets, lighting and Colors are generally great.
There are a LOT of black and white (B&W) sets. I understand the artistic concept behind B&W images, but there is a major flaw here because a lot of the harder scenes are in B&W. A girl/girl set or a set with dildo masturbation is pretty much intended to get the viewer off. Converting it to black and white does not make it art, it just makes it a dissappointing set. Many other sites include B&W white images in their otherwise color sets but here, entire sets, sometimes all sets for a particular model, are B&W.
Most shoots are in a studio or someplace with very good lighting.
The sets are simple, not too dramatic, placing emphasis where it should be, on the models. They have a chair to sit in or a bed to lay on.
There is even some light bondage in some sets. Mostly rope-work and a few blindfolds.
Navigation is Poor-to-OK. The site has changed a little since the last time I was here, I think, and it is not up to par with the other top softcore sites. I also noticed that some sections of the site are inconsistent with others.
You can search on model name or set keyword.
When you do that, one set comes up "highlighted" and you have to then open that set, or you can open other, thumbnail sets that are related. Navigation is single-threaded so you have to deliberately open things in new tabs if you don't want to spend half your time paging back.
Sets are laid out with 12 images to a page and multiple pages. If you get to a set from the updates page, it takes you to the set page and you have to click again to open it. Some sets are pretty small and some shoots are pretty clearly broken up into smaller sets. There are also several sets from the "private collection" which translates into unreleased sets taken years ago. They are usually good sets, but there is probably a reason why they were not released in 2010 when shot, and it reduces the amount of new model material on the site.
Sets are no longer dated on the set page itself, which is weird and deliberate. It opens up the likelyhood of recycling old sets. The only way to see dates is to scroll backwards through the incredibly clunky updates pages. There is no year/month index to take you to a date. You have to scroll past 100+ sets to the bottom of each update page and click "previous updates" to
get to the early sets.
Model pages are also a little..off. If a model only has one set, all of the other slots on the model page fill with other models. This makes it very difficult to see how many sets a model has. Very odd approach.
Another thing I noticed is that several very popular models from years ago are here, but they only have one set. And of course, you don't find this out until you join and go to the model page. That seems marginally deceptive. Ther was one model that I saw in a preview shot that I never found on the site. No idea why.
Bottom line: Although this site has lost a little of its previous luster, it still has a ton of excellent solo-model and girl/girl softcore material. For $14.99 for the first month and 9.99 a month after that, it is a very good deal, but be prepared to do a LOT of browsing.

Great value!
No advertising!is generally very good.
Cons:
Navigation could be a bit better in some areas.
Sets are are on multiple pages
Bottom Line:
Every once in a great while, you stumble over something that you should have known about but somehow didn't. Like finding that great restaurant that has been in your neighborhood for years. That's the way I felt when I stumbled onto this site. Wow! What a great collection! How is it possible that I didn't know about this? No idea, but I do now and I can tell you that there is something about it that I really like.
OK, here's the scoop.
This is a European-style photographer showcase site...sort of a cross between Femjoy and Hegre Art. Although it is European style, I think the photographer and most of the models are American or at least English speaking.
Currently releasing a set a day.
Been around since about 2005 or so. Sets date back to 2001.
Mostly photography but there are videos too.
Solo girl and a few girl/girl scenes with some toys, penetration and oral sex. Much more than just two girls standing next to each other like you see in some of the more conservative photo sites.
The girls are not shy and there is a moderate amount of spreading in the photo sets.
I can't tell exactly how many photo sets there are, but it looks like there are about 400 sets and maybe 80 videos.
Videos are a mix of photo shoots and dedicated videos. A few of the girl/girl and orgasm videos are quite good. In general, these videos seem more interesting than the average met-art video, possibly because there is audio. Watching the photo shoot videos is interesting because the photographer is often in the video so you can see an hear how the photographer and model interact. This isn't necessarily something to get off to, but it makes you part of the shoot.
The models are very diverse and nearly all of them are beautiful. No amateur shoots here but the sets are...not quite as glamour-oriented as Met-art perhaps...this may be because the color saturation is more realistic here than it is there. Colors are generally great.
The models come in all shapes, sizes and ethnicities. Skinny to large, A to FFF. Shaved, trimmed and full but (thankfully) none of that totally unkept could-never-wear-a-bikini stuff you sometimes see at other sites.
These models seem all natural and un-enhanced.
Popular models here include Connie Carter, Nessa and Gisele. The top rated models on the site are mostly girls I don't recognize from other sites.
You won't find a single apple, grape, bouquet of flowers or other dumb prop here. No "naked girl in the woods" sets either. Most sets start clothed or partially clothed but several start out completely nude.
The models are nearly all exclusive but there are a few very popular European and US models here as well.
Most shoots are in a studio or someplace with very good lighting.
The sets are simple, not too dramatic, placing emphasis where it should be, on the models. They have a chair to sit in or a bed to lay on.
Model interaction with the photographer is generally excellent. Watching the photo shoot videos with sound confirms this. It adds a nice quality to the shoots.
There is even some light bondage in some sets. Mostly rope-work and a few blindfolds.
Navigation is generally very good. You can search on model name or keyword. Personally, I really dislike having to page through an individual set, though. There are only 12 images on a set-page and many sets have 4 or 5 pages. That is painful, frustrating and no longer needed except to reduce the load on servers.
Download speed is good and I never had a fail. I do not use a Download Manager, but on occasion had 3 or 4 downloads running at once. This didn't break anything.
About the only thing I am not fond of in this site is the large number of black and white photo sets. even a few of the videos are in black and white. I get that it adds drama and is the photographers prerogative. I just prefer realism and true-to-life detail. On the other hand, the black and white sets completely remove any preconceptions that an observer might have about, say, a darker skinned model. Eliminating the color allows one to see just how beautiful a model really is. Nice touch.
Bottom line: If you are into nude photography and enjoy sites like Met-Art, Femjoy, MPL Studios or Hegre-Art, you owe it to yourself to try this place. For $14.99 a month, it may be one of the best bargains on the internet.
Hi. Beautiful is such a broad term that applies to many things including women. There is no word that falls between beautiful and perfect that applies only to women other than maybe goddess but that's kind of cheesy. A woman could be beautiful and still be about an 8 on the female scorecard, but most of these women are 9s or better and a few are 11s. Awesome natural figures, pretty faces, great form, grace, confidence and a mix of wonderful poses. Damn near perfect. There are a lot of sites out there that have women that are not particularly beautiful. I just wanted to be sure people know this is not one of those sites.
OK, the next time I see a special, I'll try to post a comment. I have seen them in the "deals" section on other sites in the past. If there were holiday specials, they are probably over now so next chance will be February.

Pros:
Still one of the top 5 softcore sites on the Internet.
Models are 18-25-ish, generally petite Europeans.
Lots of popular European models plus a bunch of newbies and exclusive models.
Very nicely done sets and videos.
Set management is among the best in the business (make-up, lighting, wardrobe, location, atmosphere, image quality and composition are all superb.)
Most of the models are beyond beautiful.
Models are generally not shy, most are quite open and model Eye contact is excellent.
Nice mix of full-body and close-up shots.
All of the models appear to be enjoying themselves!
The previews are highly representative.
Usually one new set or video daily.
All sets are dated
Thumbnails are on a single page for each set. (Thank you!)
Redesigned site provides excellent design and navigation.
Cons:
Not much to list here...I have to dig deep to find things:
Browsing is single thread from updates page to model-set page to individual images. No new windows for sets, thumbnails or images.)
These are all REALLY minor things, though.
Some might not like that there is no comment section for each model, but seeing how that tends to get abused at other sites, I don't blame the webmaster for that decision at all.
Bottom Line:
I've had an annual subscription to this site for several years, now and have never once regretted it. Gorgeous models, really well done sets and excellent overall. Customer service when I contacted them was prompt, helpful and courteous. Billing is
This site has been around since 2003 and the collection is pretty massive. At last count, there were about 328,000 images and over 725 videos. 1 set a day would put it at around 5400+ sets. Older sets are very well done but not quite as revealing and the resolution is not quite as high. (A few sets prior to about 2008 are non-nude or partially nude.) There appear to be nearly 400 models, the vast majority of whom are simply stunning. All of the models are completely natural. I see a lot of sites where the model ratings are artificially inflated to 9. Not here. Here they are nearly all true 9s...or better.
Images come in four sizes both for viewing and 3 sizes in zip files: 1200, 2000, 4000 on the long side. Older sets are at least 1200 and 2000.
As I mentioned above, the sets are excellent. I can't really recall seeing anything I didn't like. The girls are happy, friendly and open. Lighting, focus, composition, etc. are excellent.
This is generally a solo-girl softcore site, but there is a toy occasionally and some of the video sets include masturbation. Girls usually start out clothed or partially clothed but many of the outdoor sets start out completely nude.
Newer sets are usually about 80-120 images each, which is more than many other sites. Some older sets are a bit smaller. Older sets are also a bit more conservative, although the imagery is just is good. Some older sets are also continuations (I.e. 30 shots in one release and 30 more from the same set sometime later), but it isn't enough to be a bother and they don't seem to do that anymore.
Note that many European models have a different name on this site. If you are looking for a particular model, start with one of the global model listings to see if she is on this site. If she is on Met-Art of Femjoy, chances are good that she is here, too.
The videos, which come out about once a week, are probably better than many of the comparable sites in this niche. They break the videos down into 3 ratings: Lifestyle, Sensual and Explicit. The first category might be BTS or travel with a model. Sensual videos are bed, shower or similar model showcases, And the explicit vids are just that. You either get a view of every inch of the from pretty much every angle or they are masturbation videos. One main model, Karissa Diamond, has over 700 videos covering all three categories and I'm pretty sure she has video proof that she has gotten naked or gotten herself off in every major city in Europe. Life would be so much mor fun if there were a Guinness record for that....
All sets are properly dated and although there is no flat out recycling, occasionally there are "Director's cuts" that provide a new mix of images from an older set of a popular model. Every set all the way back to 2003 is unique as far as I can tell. The girls in those "new old stock" sets are gorgeous enough for you not to mind at all.
Another really nice thing is that the highest resolution of each image is native. An image displayed in 4000 was actually shot in 4000 or higher. (Occasionally you may find a low-light inside set shot near the ISO limits of the camera, which tends to make the largest images a little grainy, but that's not because of resizing.) Older shots at 1600, 2000 or 3000 were shot in that and not resized. there isn't a single fuzzy or obviously up-sized image on the entire site as far as I can tell! Kudos to the team for that!
About the only negative I can find on the entire site, and it is a truly tiny negative, is the single threaded browsing. No new windows open when you drill down. This is probably to keep the website traffic down, but I prefer the Met-art style where images appear in their own windows. Yes...I can type a key while clicking to open pages in a new window, but it seems like it should be a preference setting. Otherwise, navigation is very good. Once in a set, all images are presented on a single page and you have forward, back, thumbnail and open image in any available size options.
Bottom line: If you like the Met-Art, Femjoy or Watch4Beauty sites, you will really like this one. It easily rates up there with the best. There are occasional specials, but even at $29 it is a good deal and the annual rate of $99 is one of the best annual rates out there. This site gets my highest recommendation.

Easily one of the top 5 softcore sites on the Internet.

Set management is among the best in the business (make-up, lighting, wardrobe, location, atmosphere and composition are all superb.)
Most of the models are beyond beautiful. Some could stop a 747 in mid-flight!
Models are generally not shy.
Model Eye contact with photographer is generally excellent.
Nice mix of full-body and close-up shots.
Outdoor sets are the best I've ever seen (no stalking-style girl in the woods sets here!)
All of the models appear to be enjoying themselves!
Navigation, search and voting all pretty good
Customer Service was prompt and courteous.
Cons:
Really not much to list here...I have to dig deep to find things:
A "User settings" option would be nice. (Image size, thumbnails-per-page)
I'd like all set thumbnails to be on one page. Typically you have to click through 4 pages of thumbnails to see all of them in a set.
Navigation could be a little better (browsing is single thread from updates page to model-set page to individual images. No new windows for sets, thumbnails or images.)
Page back sometimes takes you back to unexpected places like the log in page.
These are all REALLY minor things, though.
I had some minor issues with IE-11. Chrome is fine.
Some might not like that there is no comment section for each model, but seeing how that tends to get abused at other sites, I don't blame the webmaster for that decision at all.
Bottom Line:
I promised that I would try again to get into this site and I'm really glad I did. It is simply top-notch. Gorgeous models, really well done sets and excellent overall. Customer service when I contacted them was prompt, helpful and courteous.
This site has been around since 2003 and the collection is pretty massive. About 195,000 images and 395 videos. 1 set a day would put it at around 3600+ sets. Older sets are very well done but not quite as revealing and the resolution is not quite as high. (A few sets prior to about 2008 are non-nude or partially nude.) There appear to be about 250 models, the vast majority of whom are simply stunning. Al of the models are completely natural.

This is generally a solo-girl softcore site, but there is a toy occasionally and some of the video sets include masturbation. Girls usually start out clothed or partially clothed but many of the outdoor sets start out completely nude.
Sets are usually about 30-40 images each. Some older sets are a bit smaller. Older sets are also a bit more conservative, although the imagery is just is good. Some older sets are also continuations (I.e. 30 shots in one release and 30 more from the same set sometime later), but it isn't enough to be a bother and they don't seem to do that anymore.
The videos, though not as common, are somehow better than many of the comparable sites. I think this is because the girls tend to interact with the camera more. In many of the videos, You get this little "you like?" look once in a while. Why yes, yes I do!
All sets are properly dated and there is NO recycling. Every set all the way back to 2003 is unique as far as I can tell. Some sets seem like they might be a little older, but they are otherwise unpublished. And the girls in those "new old stock" sets are gorgeous enough for you not to mind at all.
Another really nice thing is that the highest resolution of each image is native. An image displayed in 4000 was actually shot in 4000 or higher. (Occasionally you may find an low-light inside set shot near the ISO limits of the camera, which tends to make the largest images a little grainy, but that's not because of resizing.)

About the only negative I can find on the entire site is the single threaded browsing. No new windows open when you drill down. This is probably to keep the website traffic down, but I prefer the met-art or FemJoy style where either sets or images appear in their own windows. Yes...I can type a key while clicking to open pages in a new window, but it seems like it should be a preference setting. Otherwise, navigation is good. Once in a set, you have forward, back, thumbnail and open image in any available size options.
There is another option I discovered eventually that makes navigation a little easier...there is a flip-book on the lower right side of the main page for each set. You can flip through it to an image you would like to look at and click on that image. When you do THAT a new window opens starting at the first page of thumbnails (not the image or page of thumbnails you clicked on). This little flip-book is actually pretty nice because you can quickly flip through all the thumbnails in a set. Not sure why it doesn't just take you to the image, though...
Bottom line: If you like the Met-Art or Erotica Archives sites, you will also really like this one. It easily rates up there with the best.
Apparently they WERE telling me to screw off since future sign-up is "no longer an option". Here's the final message I got from the webmaster. You have to wonder what people are thinking in terms of marketing when there are public review forums like this. Was it retaliation for writing the comments? I don't know. It's just very dissappointing. And I'd bet that they never even try to replicate the problem I outlined.
Hello,
No disrespect intended and no justification is necessary on either end. Our site is not a good fit for you. We both recognize that. Your $19.95 has been promptly refunded
Future signup is no longer an option. As I said earlier, we're sorry it was so difficult for you. Login authentication is not supposed to be a complicated, frustrating experience.
Well, I’m more than a little disappointed that you just closed my account and refunded my money, but I suppose that is your prerogative. The reason I contacted ccBill and not you was that I really wasn’t expecting anyone to respond to me from your site at 1:00 in the morning. Usually, ccBill can reset locked passwords and even change them and I know they are there 24/7.

Subject: Re: Your login process is a nightmare!
Wow, now I just read the entire message from the webmaster and read the email he sent me. Although I can't really tell if he's telling me to screw off or not...the message was pretty polite...I am a little dissappointed that he just closed the account.
I'll try again some other time. Knowing what I do now about the login issue, I should be able to get around it without getting locked out.
I absolutely agree that ccBill is perhaps the best billing system. The problem, though, is that the site determines policy and ccBill abides by it. The random password is the site. Login attempts is the site. the tab issue is probably a comibination of site and ccbill as niether seem aware that it is an issue.
The reason I went to ccBill is because they are the site's wallet. If the issue comes from ccBill to the site, chances that it will be addressed are sometimes better than if it were just a little old user.
And lastly, I've had a few instances lately where login servers have been down and I was unable to get into sites. The login servers belong to ccbill. In those cases, you need to complain to both ccBill and to the paysite. There are usually quality of service clauses in the service level agreement between them and you want both parties to think at least a little bit about whether those clauses have been broken.
Interesting response. No "Sorry" message. No possible way that the web site could have done anything wrong. Operator error is the only thing it could have been. (Did I mention that I've been in IT for 20 years?) Kind of arrogant and politically incorrect, don't you think? The ONLY way to accurately enter in a cryptic username password combination like the one you assigned to me is to copy it from the ccbill site and paste it into the host site and that is exactly what I did. About 20 times.
YOUR site locked me out after multiple attempts based on the IP address I was using. When I loaded an anonymous browsing client that uses a proxy server, I was able to get in, but was unable to download more than a few images before, within 60 seconds of logging in, I got a message from YOUR site that said I was accessing the site from an unauthorized IP address (i.e. the proxy server) and tossed me out again. I clicked on the download button for the ZIP, but did not get the file. Probably an issue with the proxy server, not yours.
It's kind of too bad, too, because I liked the little bit I saw of your site.
I'll tell you what. I'll try again tonight to get in. If you look at my other revews for similar sites you will see that I write fair and in many cases glowing reviews. If I get in I will write a review that is untainted by this incident. But in return, you need to secret shop your own site from outside your facility on a typical IP connection. Use Internet Explorer. Buy a subscription. Click on the link in the "Approved" page that ccBill provides and watch as a tab within IE opens. See for yourself that it is physically impossible to get back to the ccBill login page (in an IE tab) once you click login and your website login pop-up appears. Try it a dozen times like I did and see if your site locks you out. Then get back to me and either say "Yes, we can see how this might be a problem" or "No, we tested this exactly as you described and were able to toggle tabs once the login pop-up appeared and were not locked out.
Your call. Actually replicate the issue as I carefully described above, or continue to be a defensive sysadmin who refuses to beleive something an intellegent, experienced customer tells them about their site.
Here's a letter I just sent ccBill within 20 minutes of joining MPL Studios. PU Sysadmin, there isn't really a forum here to discuss account management systems, so I'm dropping this on the related website in the hope that both companies will notice. CCbill is generally MUCH better than the other account managers, but lately, I've had a lot of problems with them.
Here's the letter.
I’ve been happy to use ccBill and have been trusting you as a billing provider for years. Check my email address and you will see a history that is as long as your business has existed. But lately, service has gotten so poor that I am uncertain if joining a site that uses ccBill is worth it.
Tonight I joined MPL Studios for the first time. Not only did ccBill generate a RANDOM password and username, which I hate enough to cancel subscriptions over, but the lsgmodels login pop-up prevented me from toggling back and forth from the ccbill username page to the login. When I finally opened ccBill in a different browser and was able to get the insane user name and password info, the MPL Studios site would not let me in. I can only assume that I exceeded some kind of login attempt limit imposed by you.
Look, you guys are among the better account administrators out there, but I recently cancelled my subscription to met-art because I attempted to log in on several occasions and was unable to because YOUR login servers were down. I cancelled a subscription to Watch 4 Beauty because the random password was soo damn difficult to deal with, I gave up.
As a 20 year IT professional, I understand the importance of security, etc. You are going to tell me something like “the host web site required...” Bullcrap. As a leading service provider, you are in a position to explain to the host that random passwords cause them to lose customers. And a lockout after a certain number of attempts should redirect me to YOUR site to reset the account, not leave me mad enough to cancel the account immediately. In the end, any web based service must satisfy two needs to be successful. It must be convenient and it must be reliable. Random passwords make your service incredibly inconvenient and the inability of a user in good standing to log in to a site he/she paid for makes your service unreliable.
PLEASE FIX THESE ISSUES!!
And while you are at it, unlock my account on MPL Studios so I can use the account I JUST PAID FOR!
==========
Now, after I wrote this letter, I went ahead and called ccBaill. They told me that MPL Studios will not allow them to reset passwords that get locked out and that only they can do it. So now I'm sitting here witha paid subscription I cannot use. I will be sneding a letter to MPL Studios, as well, and I have already cancelled my brand new subscription because no website should subject thier customers to this kind of nonsense.

Pros:
The ultimate reference for every naked actress scene in every A/B and foreign movie ever made.
Good site navigation and search functions.
Auto-login
Montages by topic (steam rooms, GOT, tiny girls, best boobs, year in review, etc.)
Some scenes are slowed down and enhanced for lighting, etc.
Cons:
Not really a porn site, per se, but still...
Videos are streaming only
A few current scene examples have blurred bits.
A few scenes a not on the site.
Older movie scenes, of course, are lower resolution.
Still images are, of course, video caps.
If you are looking for nude actors, this is not the site you are looking for. None here.
Bottom Line:
The site slogan, "Fast forward to the good bits" is totally accurate. Every actress you've ever been enamored by is here in the most naked scene she is in. Alexandra Daddario? Check. Margot Robbie? Check. Turns out very, very few popular actresses have NOT done some kind of nude scene at one point or another. Now, there are a few teases here. A few actresses have had doubles or have been filmed in a way that doesn't really show much, but a lot of the fun is in watching the little montages that they put together and going "Wow, SHE did a nude scene?" And, of course, the best use of the site is when you spot a particularly attractive actress and wonder "Hmmm. I wonder what she looks like naked?" Whoever she is, if she has ever been naked in a film, chances are excellent that Mr. Skin has the clip that answers your question.
To be clear, this is not a site where you will get completely off on watching nude scenes of popular actresses...well...most of the time, it is more like a collection of reasons to go Hmm, Ah, or wow and fully appreciate how awesome many of these actresses are.
It is worth noting that this site catalogs actresses only. No actors. For example the reference for Movie Wild Things shows about 6 scenes of the actresses but the full frontal scene of Kevin Bacon in the shower is absent. (I suppose there is a Mrs. Skin?)
There are also a few nude scenes that are somewhat disturbing, or at least mood ruining. Scenes from horror movies or those odd cinematic cases where they move between a love scene and a bloody war scene, for example.
Can you find many of these scenes elsewhere on the Internet for free? Well, maybe, but they won't be as good quality, as easily found or cross referenced like they are here.
Bottom line: They are offering lifetime subscriptions for $99. I bought one.
I went ahead and took this lifetime offer at Mr. Skin. It does include naked news and Playboy Plus, but the PP subscription is streaming only with no downloads. When I tried to pay the $10 for downloads, the PP system says I am not a valid user and won't allow me to upgrade. Kinda sucks, but I'm used to it from the douche bags that run the Playboy site and many others that don't allow downloading unless you pay the extortion fee.
I visit MFC and chaturbate moderately often, but I do not look for privatge shows there. There are other sites that are set up for private shows, like metcams. With MFC and Chaturbate, mostly Chaturbate, I'll give tokens to the girls that are particularly impressive so they do things in thier public room. I don't care if somebody else is geting off on my dime. I'm not really there for the conversation anyway.
Just look at the numbers of viewers in each girl's room on these sites and you will see that for every one person paying tokens, there are hundreds just watching.
Don't expect a first class private experience on these sites. Just go to one that specializes in private if that is what you want.
I hate to admit it, but I've been lurking around MFC and I know what you mean. There are a handful of girls who are basically naked all the time in the top couple of rows and they get money thrown at them, often without doing much of anything else. The new girls, who probably think in terms of a traditional one-on-one private experience, are at the very bottom of the list and when you peek into their rooms, they are just sitting there.
I also have to wonder if there is some Amazon.com-like marketing model where the models on the top row are paying extra to stay in those slots. That model works great for those top-row girls and for MFC, but not so much for the new models who aren't yet making enough money to buy a higher position. So they quit.
In the end, the psychology of it is very similar to stripping. Some girls try it, some girls enjoy the money for a while, but very few girls have the emotional fortitude or psychological make-up to stick with it and really excel.
Thanks for the info. I tried POVlive a couple times and that seems like a pretty straightforward buy a chatroom site. Also tried the Met Art live site, metcams. Metcams was a decent site, but they kept telling me my account had been hacked and cutting me off. I think many of these sites are all run by the same parent company/master website, but I can't think of the name.
I joined this site and instead of finding girls ready to go to private chats, I find kind of a carnival of spin games and similar antics. Most of the girls are clothed or partially nude, mostly just talking or chatting with their viewers. Guys are throwing tokens at them and there is NOTHING HAPPENING... The girls sell things like snapchats and videos and have posted lists for things like flashing and other activities. It really seems like this site is set up to sort of milk money from viewers who are very hard pressed to "make friends" with the girls. There are a few active "shows" and lesbian things going on, but it doesn't really seem that exciting. What am I missing here?

Pros:
A few attractive models.
2 models you've seen that are now pretty popular
Decent number of sets
Some videos are full HD (1080)
Straightforward navigation
A few pretty good videos
(I'm really..um..stretching here to find Pros)
Cons:
No dates on sets
No indication of frequency of updates
Mediocre photography
Older sets have no video or poor video
Several of the "Naked Gymnasts" aren't naked
Very basic navigation
No model pages.
Bottom Line:
I saw a couple of sample images from this site someplace and decided to sign up. I went ahead and did this in spite of there being no reviews for the site. here on PU. The site is somehow affiliated with Club Seventeen and there was a cross-check that would have signed me up for it if I had not unchecked it.
I like the flexy-sexy type of images and the girls in this category are usually very fit. For this site, the analogy is more like that of a nude beach. What you think of and what you experience are usually two very different things. This is the reality version of nude beach. A few honeys and a lot of forgettable things. It isn't that the site is horrible, it's just nowhere near where it should be compared to other sites today.
This site has about 500 sets that are not dated. There is a little log along the left side that announces updates about once a week. An update might be a set or a video. No idea if they are recycling. Most sets have between 50 and 100 images. One size, 1670x2500 or so max. Older sets are 1200x700 or so. Older sets also have NO ZIP FILES. Most models have 2 ore 3 sets, so there are probably about 100-130 models. Just 4 pages of sets with about 140 sets per page. The sets on the last page are really odd and many are not nude at all. There are no model pages so if you see a girl you like, too bad, you have to look through 500 sets to find her again. A few sets are linked though, but the logic of why some are linked and some are not escapes me. A few girls have different names in their different sets. Purchased stuff? Maybe.
Watermarks on the images say different things: Most say Flexyteens.com instead of naked-gymnast. On a hunch, I went to Flexyteens.com, which has a very nice looking front entrance, and signed in my Naked-Gymnast login. Surprise! I got the exact same site, except at the top it now said "Flexy Teens"! So I will be dropping this review there also. I would be so pissed if I had signed up for the same site under two different names. Fortunately, I did not.
The models are typically young, but there is a general lack of sexiness that one would normally associate with young, fit gymnasts. Most of the sets are practically clinical and many of the poses are just strange, neither gymnastic nor flexy. Curl up like a ball on a bar-stool strange. These are all eastern European girls with eastern European names. There is very little make-up...well...gymnast make-up, I guess. And zero glam.
The two models that I see here (I went through the entire list of 500 sets in about an hour with a lot of "nope, nope, nope" on the first page), are Melena A. and Annett A. from Met-Art, both very popular. The sets of these two models here are different from the other sets on this site...better...almost like they are the marketing teasers. Purchased, maybe. Certainly shot in a better studio.
Bottom line? Pass. Maybe if it a side-bar on club Seventeen for $10 or so, but this site is not worth visiting by itself.

Pros:
Very Entertaining site
Newscasters of every age, shape and ethnicity
You can download and keep the newscasts
pricing is good.
Cons:
Can be a little monotonous sometimes.
A few of the newscasters are not great newscasters.
Slightly higher percentage of tattoos than I'm used to. (personal preference only)
Bottom Line:
OK, first off, the site is EXACTLY what it is named. Naked News. It is not a porn site, exactly... The newscasters don't have sex and don't do anything more than strip. But... I watch an hour of regular news every morning at 6AM and many of the same stories are on the day's production of Naked News at 7PM. But I have to say it is MUCH more entertaining to watch the 7PM show. This site has been producing news for nearly 2 decades (December, 1999!) so clearly they are doing something right!
Naked News is a softcore site with primary focus on the day's events in a newscasting environment. The only difference between this and a broadcast news show is that the newsgirls strip as the newscast progresses. There are different segments like headlines (called bulletins), sports, movies/hollywood and there is even a travel segment along with guest interviews with porn stars and nude models.
There are 6 HD shows a week and the shows last about 20-25 minutes. You can sign up to get an email when the show is released if you want and the show can be streamed or downloaded in one piece or just in the segments you want. The production quality is every bit as good as most national news shows.
I gave the site an 85 because, although it is one of only two sites in this genre that I know of (the other is a not-so-great Playboy branded production), this site does what it does very well. Just DO NOT expect anything other than what the name implies.
Honestly, a few of these women would make terrific regular news anchors, but they are probably having way more fun doing this. And some of the news interview and remote segments are so good you would not know they were not on broadcast TV.
Let me ask you this. Do you have a favorite news show? Is there a hot newscaster on that show? Well, if the answer is yes, it is because that show has tweaked the newscasting formula to keep you watching. Naked news does the same thing, only they aren't sly about it. They KNOW why you are watching.
There are a few ancillary features of the site also, like a cam site, snapchat subscriptions and even clothing optional vacation options like a naked cruise to Alaska! They have some interesting streaming options, too, like a subscription to watch the show on Roku.
Downside? Well, sometimes they have guest or audition newscasters that are a little rough in one way or another. And once in a while I skip a segment because I don't like the look of the newscaster (personal preference again). And there will be times, maybe, when the news is actually more interesting than the naked girl talking about it.
Bottom line: This is a different kind of site. It isn't porn but it IS entertainment. If you watch the news regularly like I do, but you don't like the boring way news is sometimes presented, than this might be a great site for you. Or...if you just hate watching regular news but feel it is important to stay informed. Ta Da! Naked News is PERFECT for you!
After watching it for over a month, I've found a good balance between actually watching the news and watching the generally hot newscasters strip down to their fully shaved nothings. I don't think you will never find a more entertaining news show! Try it for a month at the discounted price.

Pros:
Relatively large collection of VR porn
Many major US porn stars
Huge variety of girls
Generally good quality
You get the entire Naughty America site.
Cons:
Video direction could be better
Videos are not continuous (brief fades out and in)
Many of the actresses are..um..very mature.
Navigation for VR is really poor. There is a VR tab that shows the VR videos by date, popularoty or your favorites based on your scores, but you can't search just VR for a particular actress. You get all of her videos with no clear indicator that any videos are VR until you click on them individually. Somebody didn't think this through.
Bottom Line:
As always, I'm just laying out what I see and experience about a site with a minimal filter. I encourage you to share your experiences as well.
Amazingly, I had never joined Naughty America before joining them specifically for the VR porn. Fortunately, a subscription for one of their areas provides access to the entire network and I generally like what I see in the network. This review is just for the VR portion of the network.
Naughty America VR-specific Stats:
About 95 VR sets
I can't tell how many models there are because they are not broken out into VR only. Probably about 120.
One new set every 3 or 4 days.
Sets are dated and scored on a 5 star scale
One large zip collection of medium resolution images for each set including a strip from the actress (kind of a screen test set) and then images that match the video, possibly screen caps.
Format is side by side 180 degree with a fish-eye perspective. So far, they seem pretty consistent with good optics.
Wide variety of girls and settings here, the same girls that are in the regular Naughty America videos. Some are beautiful, many are a little older and some are much older (40 plus). I have a very hard time watching the more golden-age girls.
I joined this site as an add-on to another site called Real Teens VR, which is all sub-25 actresses. The two sites are affiliated with the young stuff going there and everything else landing here. It's about $$.
As far as I can tell, all of these videos are participatory sex videos or 3-ways. There are no videos where you just watch a girl get off like I've mentioned about a few other sites. I think that is a plus. The scenarios are very basic, which is also a plus. Friend of your girlfriend, best friends girlfriend, friend of your daughter, stepdaughter, stepsister, etc. The category "Your mom's hot friend" is the tip-off that it is an older actress. For the most part, the male surrogate (you) in these sets is silent. There is occasionally some grunting or groaning or talking, which is a little disturbing sometimes.
One thing that this site does a little differently is use multiple male positions in many of the VR sets. So they may start out with you (the male participant) sitting. Then you may be prone, naked and inactive. Then you are standing or kneeling on a bed thrusting away having active intercourse. It is much more of a traditional POV style. The active positions can be nice, but the transitions are instantaneous so you don't have a chance to prepare, mentally or otherwise. Ideally, there should be warning or the set-up should transition as part of the video. A few of the videos lead into the transition with the girl saying an appropriate thing like "OK, now I want you to fuck me doggie style", but most do not.
Actually, I feel like the VR sets here are a little over-produced and under directed. There is a billboard image for each set that reminds me of old VCR video covers, so somebody has the budget to make these, but the direction in some of the sets is marginal. I can sometimes see the girl looking at somebody and clearly being directed to do something differently. And the videos often "drop out" for a second as they splice in two non-contiguous takes or cut out some error. That drop out can be very distracting because often the position will change, clothes will vanish, or an initial insertion will be missing. The removal of clothing and an initial insertion are kind of porn video gold from my perspective. They should never be omitted from a video. In a few videos the drop-out literally happens every few seconds. It really ruins the whole VR vibe. You can do cut-away's all day long in a traditional porn video, but you can't do them at all in POV or VR. Apparently somebody doesn't know that.
Tech stuff.
After looking through the 100 or so VR videos from their representative "billboards" I pulled down the images and about 2 dozen high-resolution Oculus-Rift/Vive videos. Unfortunately, the high resolution vids stutter and pixelate on my Vive set-up, so I had to pull down the medium resolution versions. Those work well and I can hardly tell the difference in the videos. (I am in the process of building a much faster machine for VR and will test with that, but apparently the fastest AMD CPU chip made to date isn't fast enough...Which explains why Oculus only supports Intel CPUs.) In any case, the video files are HUGE and they take FOREVER to download. (My entire VR collection is about 200 videos so far and it already exceeds one terabyte.) Expect it to take 20-30 minutes to pull down several files.
I'm about out of space...
Bottom line: Decent site. Huge variety. Popular and sometimes older porn actresses. It is totally and completely worth it to join Naughty America VR for the handful of VR sets you will like and the bucket-loads of POV and other regular video material that comes with it. But my rating is for the VR portion on

Pros:
Some of the models are really beautiful
Most are at least good looking
Most are natural, not enhanced.
100% original content
Exclusive models as far as I can tell
Reasonable variety of body dimensions
Cons:
Well....
Sets are not dated.
Unknown update frequency.
Can't tell if sets are recycled.
No HD found so far
Images and zips are 1600x1067 MAX!!
Navigation is a little clunky
Site is mostly bathing suit and lingerie shots.
Models are not very animated (most just standing)
Softer than soft core...really a bikini site with extras.
Not a particularly good value at $29.95.
Bottom Line:
About 210 models and 1475 sets.
Very few videos but all are decent quality.
Sets have between 30 and 120 images.
Vast majority of sets are bikini/lingerie sets.
This is an odd, sort of misidentified site and I just can't understand why they didn't define it better. (Sorry TBP...) Probably 97% of the girls are NOT NUDE! This would be a classic tease or bikini site if it were not for the occasional nude set. Even the nude sets, most of them anyway, are not particularly revealing. I've seen more on the Chive, Maxim or free web sites. Much more. But then, oh wait, there are two or three models that get naked and provide extreme close-ups. Waaaat? What's THAT about? No wonder TBP had such a hard time defining the site. It's like the sock drawer of nude sites! Most things in there match up with a specific genre ou would expect, but rogue loners to make you wonder what's going on....
Maybe the next best way I can define this site, besides as a tease site, is outdated. Navigation is good but not ideal. You can filter the models by odd preferences like "wet" (as in water),"fishnet", "see-thru", "blond" and, oh yea, "nude" and even "extreme close up" which is just wierd compared to the rest of the site. You can't select multiples, so no way to see wet blonds, etc. And "see-thru" applies to a top worn over a bathing suit as often as something you can actually see parts through.
When you select a model, you get a list of her sets. The sets have tags like "fishnet", bathing suit", "nude", etc. that match the search parameters. These are site defined. Select a set and you get the first batch of 30 thumbnails. If there is nudity, it is often very late in the set. Some sets have over 300 images, so you have to go through 10 pages or more to see everything. You can also navigate directly to a page. Or you can download the entire set in a zip file.
The sets are not dated, so you have no idea how old they are. You also don't know how many images are in a set until you look. The image or file sizes are also not listed. The tags are helpful, but "nude" in this case might mean a nip slip. Ad if the model is nude, chances are pretty good that they superglued her legs together. Many of the girls that are nude are all crossed up like they have to pee! Some are only topless. One kind of interesting thing is that the girls may go nude but cover up everything with thier hands....until they turn around. That all of a sudden you'll get this beautiful standing rear view. The photographer seems to have a knack for these rearview shots as they occur pretty consistently in clothed and nude models.
Oh, yeah. The photography. Competent. Nothing special. No photoshopping. Some studio sets. Since most of the girls are clothed, it looks like the photographer often takes the models to a local hotel pool or maybe some gardens someplace. You can tell that many of the model sets were shot on the same day with the same locale. Nothing even remotely exotic in the locations.
Now if you are LOOKING for a bikini site, this one is probably not bad, but the occasional rogue naked close-up model kind of messes up that niche.
If this were my site, I would probably break it up into a "network" of three sites that might include bikini, lingere and nude sites. The price I paid, $29.00 was probably about $10.00-15.00 high considering comparable sites with tens of thousands of high-resolution images and HD videos.
Bottom line? If you are looking for some exclusve non-nude photography and don't mind a little nudity mixed in, this is a good site for you. If you are used to the top softcore sites, pass on this one...at least until the price comes down.
